Keto Deviled Eggs Recipe for Easy Snacks
If you’re looking for a low-carb snack or party appetizer, these Keto Deviled Eggs are exactly what you need. They are creamy, flavorful, and fit perfectly into your healthy eating plan without sacrificing taste.
Key Ingredients & Tips
- Full-Fat Mayonnaise: Use a good quality, full-fat mayo for the best creaminess and to keep it keto-friendly. Avoid any low-fat versions with added sugars.
- Mustard Choice: Dijon mustard adds a nice tang. You can use yellow mustard for a more classic taste, but check for added sugar if you’re strict keto.
- Seasoning Well: Don’t shy away from salt and pepper. A little sprinkle of paprika on top adds color and a mild pepper note.
What You Need
- 6 large eggs, hard-boiled
- 1/4 cup full-fat mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish
⏱️ Time: 20 minutes🍽️ Yields: 12 halves
How to Make It
Step 1: Prep Eggs
Carefully peel your hard-boiled eggs. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently scoop the yellow yolks into a small bowl and set the white halves aside on a platter.
Step 2: Make the Filling
Use a fork to mash the egg yolks until they are smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and vinegar to the mashed yolks. Mix everything well until creamy.
Step 3: Season & Pipe
Taste the yolk mixture and add salt and black pepper until it tastes just right to you. Spoon the creamy filling into a piping bag (or use a small spoon) and fill each egg white half.
Step 4: Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle a little paprika over the top of each filled egg for color. You can serve them right away or chill them in the fridge until you are ready.
